Extended Care Treatment

Solutions by the Sea Extened Care Treatment begins with the first phone call. We want to establish an environment of trust, a sense of security and integrity. The program each day will start with morning affirmation, meditation and prayer time. Throughout each treatment phase, we will focus on providing our clients with the tools for a strong 12-Step recovery, demonstrating how to apply those tools to daily living. There are four key elements that will be addressed while clients are in treatment. These are: Spirituality, Cognition, Physiology and Psychology. Solutions by the Sea is a wellness program that addresses the whole person.

They will be schooled in how to take care of their whole self.

Our goal is Recovery. We will help people by utilizing the 12-steps. We will teach people about the disease of addiction, its many facets and how to effectively combat the disease daily. We will show our clients how to balance spirit, body and mind.

Day Treatment Program

Big Corona State Beach

Solutions by the Sea's Day Treatment Program is an accommodation to the corporate employee unable to take too much time away from work and their family. Each client will arrive at the facility at 9 a.m. daily and begin a regular full day program. Since such clients will not live at the facility, we will provide them with daily therapy sessions to immerse themselves quickly into their recovery process. Each client will only be at the facility until early afternoon, which will enable them to continue their work involvement and to be with their families. Each In-Patient client will sign a contract indicating his or her willingness to enter the Solutions by the Sea full program should they relapse while in treatment.

Each client will be responsible for establishing a strong 12-step program of recovery and be required to attend 7 outside meetings per week. A signed meeting attendance card for meetings is mandatory. Random drug testing will be conducted a minimum of 3 times per week. The client will be required to get a sponsor and begin working the steps. Inpatient clients will also attend two nightly family sessions per week for the 30-day period. Each client who successfully completes the program will be awarded a certificate of completion. They may then move on to the Outpatient aspect of our program.

Extended Living

Once clients have completed the full program of treatment, it is important for them to continue to build their recovery. They can accomplish this through Solutions by the Sea extended living facilities. They will enter a structured environment where they will be living with other people in early recovery. People come through treatment and renter the "real world" before their recovery foundation is strong enough to carry them and they relapse. Through our extended living program, they will remain close to the people who have helped them in their early recovery and remain accountable.

Clients will continue their recovery experience and be living with people they have gone through the program with who know what they are experiencing. They will attend nightly meetings. There will be on-site workshops in relapse prevention. Clients will be able to stay in individual therapy and receive additional family sessions.

The goal of the extended living program of Solutions by the Sea is stabilization. We want the clients to be established in their recovery program before returning to their normal work and their homes. The extended living provides the in-between step that allows people to apply what they have learned in a safe environment. The client and their family will have the opportunity to see if and when they are ready to move forward. Our extended living program is a relapse prevention tool and helps to establish a strong individual recovery foundation.

Family Program

An important element of Solutions by the Sea treatment is the family program. Throughout the 30-day and 90-day program we will work on family dynamics. Each client will then be involved in a family week. The time will be divided into education lectures for the family and looking at the family dynamics that have helped to maintain the addictive cycle. The family will address the issues necessary to enable growth and change.

We will utilize therapeutic techniques that include Family Sculpting, Role Playing, Writing Assignments and Group Challenges. The goal is to balance and change the family dynamics. The system itself is chemically dependent. Therefore, the family is also in treatment. Family members will need their own set of tools to alter their enabling behavior. We will provide the family with those tools and the knowledge to use them.
